Chicken that’s better for you

Kentucky Fried Chicken is beginning to take transfats off its menu.
The fast-food company said today it was substituting a more healthful soybean cooking oil for the artery-clogging transfats.
Earlier this year, it was sued over its use of the fats, which not only raise low-density lipoprotein or so-called bad cholesterol levels but also lower high-density or good cholesterol.
Some of KFC’s menu will still contain transfats—chicken pot pie, biscuits and mashed potatoes with gravy. The company will continue working on those items.
Wendy’s was the first to stop cooking with the harmful fats.
The announcement came as New York City held a public hearing on its proposal to ban transfats from restaurants.
